The Society for American Archaeology (SAA) is pleased to
announce the SAA Arthur C. Parker Scholarship and National
Science Foundation (NSF) Scholarships for Archaeological
Training for Native Americans and Native Hawaiians for the
year 2000.  Together, these scholarship programs will
provide four awards of $3000 each to support training in
archaeological methods, including fieldwork, analytical
techniques, and curation.  These scholarships are intended
for current students--high school seniors, college
undergraduates, and graduate students--and personnel of
Tribal or other Native cultural preservation programs.
Native Americans and Pacific Islanders from the U.S.,
including U.S. Trust Territories, and Indigenous peoples
from Canada are eligible for these scholarships.
Individuals may apply for these scholarships themselves, or
they may be nominated by a current professor, high school
teacher, or cultural preservation program supervisor. The
SAA Arthur C. Parker Scholarship is named in honor of the
first president of the SAA, who served from 1935 to 1936.
Parker was of Seneca ancestry through his father's family,
and he spent his youth on the Cattaraugus Reservation in New
York.  The NSF Scholarships for Archaeological Training for
Native Americans and Native Hawaiians are made possible by a
grant from the National Science Foundation to the SAA.
Application or nomination materials for these scholarships
must be postmarked no later than February 15, 2000.  To
learn more about the application or nomination procedures,
